Yeah MerTina is still the best thing about any Shonda show. You can't say that about anyone on Scandal and HTGAWM? Please the only thing we know for sure of is that Annalise is ok with everyone killing for her. lol

On Arrow we find out that

Surely everyone must see the extremely unfair representation of voters that leads to the ludicrous exclusion of films they perceive not to be prestigious enough.

Personally, Straight Outta Compton was one of the most inspiring cinematic triumphs of recent years and it is flat out unacceptable that nobody in that cast was nominated.

I think there were 40 actor nominations or something, and every single person was white. That is either insane, or it must be intentional.

It behooves you to watch some of the films and performances that people are complaining weren't included.

I would suggest Ex Machina as a good place to start - Oscar Isaac was excellent.



Also, this phrasing is so wildly offensive. But I don't have energy to comment on this.
I'll admit that the Oscars have got it wrong on times. Most of the time, it isn't based on talent. Halle Berry should have won for Things We Lost In The Fire. She put in a solid performance in Monster's Ball, but she put in an even better performance in TWLITF, displaying a greater range of emotions. But I guess the racial undertone of MB clicked with the awards body, instead of Halle's talent displayed in the other film.

I saw it. I like that these heroes actually gets to have fun. That being said my favorite part was obviously seeing Laurel bw treated like a human being.


omg Miss Colombia was so rude to Steve Harvey on his own damn show. I should've felt bad but I don't. lmao

Steve "It's a woman's fault if her husband cheats on her because she must have bored him" Harvey could stand for more people to be rude to him, lol.

See, this is what I mean- I don't think Shonda will ever go there between Meredith and Alex, but Justin just doesn't play these scenes with platonic undertones, lol.







Also, I see this show continues to have the actual title of "Meredith Grey Never-Ending Torture Porn" :/

Oscars 2016: Charlotte Rampling says diversity row is 'racist to white people' | Film | The Guardian

It's taken someone outside the shmoozy Hollywood system like Charlotte to speak sense. I can't believe that they are considering a quota. How can they justify that, and still pass it off as thought the criteria is based on talent? I can see "Best White Actor", "Best Black Actor" etc.. going down a storm.

Meredith and torture porn is this shows favorite trope. Gross. Mean while Liv can't just be single or idk with a guy who isn't trash over on Scandal? No wonder why more people want to be Annalise. At least she;s amoral and her getting shot was on her own terms.

omg at Caity and Katie's arms in those sparing scenes. I love Sara bonding with the evil twosome. Rip Hunter just looks like he'll be a shady douche to the gang.

Preach

I actually died of shock that they actually included her in the episode.

She's always treated better on the other shows. It also seems like she and Cisco still talk. He's the one who created Sara's suit.

I'm still side eyeing Hawkman being ab Egyptian prince. So much hopes on that ****. lol

ETA: Why are people like this?

I..she even ignores the fact that black actresses also has to work even harder in Hollywood. Halle Barry, Viola Davis, Taraji, Kerry are all movie actresses but HAD to go into television to find success.
